What Now?

I normally prefer informative essays involving the topic of history, but recent events imbue me with the inspiration to write a few different pieces. Simply stated, the future appears grim. Black pills and bad news permeate our circles, and normie circles, relentlessly with no end in sight. The reelection of Trump appears questionable, and his tenure so far has done nothing for his base. It is time for dissidents to turn their attention to meticulous practices for preserving themselves. The following is a small list of a handful of strategies to consider.

Third Party

Third party voting is certainly a viable and underutilized option. Third parties operate best and find the most success at the local level. Additionally, little attention has been paid to them from genuine conservatives since the Civil Rights Movement, notably the late 1960’s during George Wallace’s first presidential bid. A plethora of neglected opportunities exists within third parties. One great example is the Constitution Party. Another means of moving forward may be the creation of our own third party. I am personally privy to party names such as “Southern Rights Party,” “States’ Rights Republican Party,” “States’ Rights Party,” or something similar. The alternative method is to simply walk away from the GOP and refuse to vote for them. Their actions have historically betrayed their Southern constituents and have been explained in abundance on this site. Recent actions, most notably in Mississippi, only support this stance. They must stand for their own voters or cease to exist as a party.

Work Locally

This is the one many will most likely find every excuse not to do. Get involved in your church and local conservative minded groups. Avoid toxic groups such as the Klan and Neo-Nazi organizations (as well as those that support them), which will obviously backfire on you and are full of federal infiltrators. Additionally, get more involved with your local dissidents or this community here. Though they obviously need work, many chapters of the SCV are still good and do good work; they just need some youthful insight. The members are usually old and are desperate for younger leaders. However, many of those chapters are a bit on the weak side, if not totally frail, so ensure you vet them in your own mind before joining. Make content and be productive. This idea largely explains itself.

Build Connections

This largely ties into the above point. Connections are key to political and social success. Having friends in other groups as well as your own builds a “broederbond” of sorts and allows for achievement of goals. Additionally, build friends in your own personal lives. Do not push people away. The aforementioned “broederbond” approach was used to Redeem the South from Radical Reconstruction and has been used repeatedly in every right-wing revolution to manifest in Dixie. The term itself originated as a use for the secret society Boers used in order to take over South Africa and found the National Party.

Secession

Despite an abundance of black pills, there are a few areas in which the idea of secession may assert itself if approached tactfully. Though unlikely, the Deep South still holds a bit of potential in laying a foundation for secessionists. The general populace, most notably in Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina, provide some of the most conservative and best constituents for such an endeavor and have great people living in them. Louisiana voted in favor of a Democrat governor while supporting Republicans in most other areas in the state’s recent wave of elections, refusing to vote for the more liberal Republican gubernatorial candidates.

South Carolina, while cursed with horrid U.S. Senators, has pretty good state officials. The current governor, Henry McMaster, has tended to remain close to Confederate sympathizers and seems lacking in willingness to repeal the state’s Heritage Act. Mississippi, the most notable of the three, currently exists in uproar as Republicans have totally backstabbed their own constituents over the state flag issue. Calls continue to rise for the removal of mass swathes of GOP officials from the state legislature and continue to grow. Additionally, State Senator Chris McDaniel operates as a vocal mouthpiece for these people and has a history of being one of the finest statesmen in the region. The man may have a governorship in his future. A third party, working in conjunction with other powerful groups such as the Texas Nationalist Movement, could easily build secessionist sentiment in these areas. While it may not succeed, it would plant the seed.

Build a Colony

While the goal of a country for the Southern populace is the central goal of the Southern Nationalist/Traditionalist cause, the possibility of that happening is most likely non-existent. Outside of a few areas, the reality of a free and independent Dixie will never manifest. Working within the system by building a parallel system is important and crucial. Additionally, having connections and ties with others is important to achieving goals and overarching strategies. All of this could be used to build some sort of colony. Should the worst possible series of outcomes unfold in the near future, Southerners in our circles and with our sympathies should look to possibly building a colony for themselves, much like Afrikaners have done in Orania, South Africa.

Colony building can be a bit of a touchy subject and a bit idealistic, in some cases craven on the surface. However, Southerners *need* a home; ours is dying. The end of such oppression at the hands of the communists in the government and betrayal at the hands of the GOP has no end in sight. It is time to honestly look at the idea of establishing towns, or even just a single colony, of our own. There is no shortage of suitable locales from which to choose; Dixie is covered with abandoned ghost towns, collapsing real estate prices, and population evaporation.

Texas is covered with ghost towns, and the South Carolina Piedmont also looks promising. Additional areas also appear promising in Louisiana, most notably the Texas-Louisiana Piney Woods region. One area stands out above the rest and provides the most potential, though most may not suspect it. The Mississippi Delta region provides the largest amount of suitable areas. The land is incredibly fertile, is dotted with ghost towns, has a rapidly shrinking population, is covered with antebellum architecture, is isolated from unwanted attention, and is very cheap in real estate prices. The list could go on. It is the peak locale to form a colony in. Unfortunately, building such a place would require a lot of work and would force many to move away from preferred locations to live there, which understandably creates hesitation. It is primarily an idea to be considered for the future, but unfortunately we are in a situation in which we must consider such options.

This is not a be-all-end-all type of list. I do not know the best answer. What I can say though is that simply waiting around for “someone to save us” really is not much of an option. Every unfortunate scenario requires the consideration and adaptation of alternate strategies. While we may wish to see only the darkness, it is important to continue working.
